I just dont see the appeal with a time travel xpac. Why go back in time? Whats done is done. Wont we change it all if we go back? Will all the stuff that happend between classic-MoP just be for no reason? Or do we need to go back in time and make sure it stays like that?

I dont know, it sounds like total chaos. Blizzard is making sure more people wont get into the lore if this is time travel. Talk about making a mess.

Also, orcs again? I swear, if I see Thrall or another orc playing a major part in the next xpac I will be greatly disapointed. Come on, give us something else than green jesus.

Yeah.. Time travel is fun for some quests and dungeons. For a entire xpac? No way. Thats going to create a total chaos lorewise.

it's so surprising how a lot of people keep saying it's a hearthstone expansion , the game is still in beta...and concerning the portable devices in the trademark registry, it could be pretty much anything ,it could just as well be a new mobile armory

Just because a game is unreleased it does not mean that future expansion's can't be revealed. While Battlefield 4 was in development all of its 5 future expansions were announced.

That's my main concern. In a time-travel situation, the best outcome would be that the timeline goes on as normal. Which, when we return to the present, will feel like it didn't matter, since there'd be no difference between our adventure and the whole expansion simply not happening at all. Or the worse scenario, in which we end up altering major events. Which would cause retcons in the storyline, which in turn would be very frustrating that suddenly... say X character is now presented in a completely different light to the previous lore, or Y event now no longer happened. What would the consequences be? How would they be shown in-game? Or would it just be shrugged away and ignored? It's a very thin line, one too thin (in my opinion) to be the basis of an entire expansion. A dungeon or raid? Sure. We've had those before and it was both cool and interesting. But a whole expansion is an entirely different ball game to that. A single event is fine, it can easily be kept within the bounds of the story as we know it to have happened. An entire expansion on that concept would be far too difficult to keep in line with the rest of the story.

are 100% sure that it is / isn't WoW expansion
are 100% sure WoW will die if it is a WoW expansion
are 100% sure that it is / isn't Hearthstone expansion
are 100% sure that Hearthstone can't have expansion packs announced before it comes out (you know, like Starcraft 2, a game that has actual storyline, did)
are 100% sure that it is / isn't Mobile App
are 100% sure that it is / isn't Mobile Pet Battles
will quit if one of the above happens

Then, the list should be at the bottom of the newspost after it is actually revealed what it is...

Did you actually read the trade mark, or just skip the whole paragraph to where it said Tablet PC on the very last line, moron

Anyways, we have this argument every year, blizz trade mark a name, most of us say its the next expac, people say no way in hell, turns out it is, and its going to be this time as well, --- Only exception was (maybe) the dark below? I keep seeing people post this but I was off wow for a month or so so didnt keep up with the mmo news feeds n that, so no idea what the deal with that was ---

The point of LFR is to be easy content that someone can jump into and get done.

To the point where you merely faceroll, are required to pay no attention to mechanics beyond "get out of fire," and collect epics? Christ, what do you want, log in once a week and they mail you a box for each boss with a chance for loot? SoO is supposed to be difficult. AS it is, simple mechanics like "Dont DPS Nazgrim in Defensive" or "kite Haromm to clear ground" are what defeats an LFR party over and over and over. How about Blizzard just programs in a warning to flash across the screen "Defensive Stance, Stop hitting the boss or you'll wipe," in whatever language the player has selected as their primary?

How can you even tell if that's Thrall? Just looks like random generic orc to me.

because its the exact same picture they released of him back in cataclysm. varian has one as well

"The Horde has committed heinous crimes, Vol'jin. But some among you fought against Garrosh's tyranny. For that, I'm willing to end this bloodshed. But know this : if your Horde fails to uphold honor as Garrosh did, we will end you." - High King Varian Wrynn

Do you enjoy the 1h queues? Do you enjoy the multiple wipes and being stuck in LFR for hours on end? Are you people masochist or something?

No the people in LFR won't "learn". It a different group every time you enter, this isn't like raid guild where the whole guild slowly learns the encounter. Also the vast majority of people who do LFR don't have the patience to slowly learn from wipes, they just leave and never come back.

I don't think they actually do random LFR, most people like that are the Normal (or early HC) raiders that feel over-entitled to dictate who can see what content...
